Since winning the 40-over final
in 2010, Warwickshire have finished runners-up in 2012, and,
following the combined expansion to 50 overs and re-naming,
runners-up again in 2014. Basically, if it's even even-numbered
year, keep an eye out for the Bears in white ball cricket. Their
only Twenty20 title came two years ago - again, in an even-numbered
year. But even though Warwickshire go into tomorrow's Royal
London final refreshed from having the week off in the County
Championship, they'll have the threat of relegation
on their minds.
In this summer's Royal London,
though, Sam Hain (528 runs
at 66.00) and Jonathan Trott (433 at an average of 72.16) have led
the way with the bat for the Bears, whose line-up includes a third batsmen with a List A career
average over forty - Ian Bell. Surrey, on the other hand, only have
one - Kumar Sangakkara.
Even if Warwickshire's big artillery fail to hit their target, Tim Ambrose,
William Porterfield, Rikki Clarke, Chris Woakes and, if he plays,
Laurie Evans, are
all more than capable of making match-winning contributions with the
willow.
Warwickshire's weakness, if
indeed they have one, is their reliance on overseas off-spinner Jeetan
Patel (20 Royal London wickets at 20.95 runs apiece this term) and
Clarke's capacity for keeping things quiet. Somerset found Oliver Hannon-Dalby
difficult to get away in the semi-final, but across this
year's one-day competition the former Yorkshire seamer has conceded
5.89 runs per over. The key man, therefore, could well be Woakes, who has been
limited to just one appearance in this year's Royal London. The
27-year-old all-rounder, who now looks so at home
on the international stage, took 14 ODI wickets for England this summer at 28.57 runs apiece, and with an
economy rate of 5.10.

Clearly, given the 10.30am start, the toss is important at this stage
of the season. For the record, ten of the captains winning the toss
prior to the last 13 Lord's finals have elected to bowl first.
Twelve months ago, Gareth Batty followed suit but said, immediately
following his side's six-run defeat that, in hindsight, he should
have opted to bat. In 1982, however, it was Roger Knight's decision to
stick Warwickshire that meant the die was cast before a ball
was even bowled. Bears with a long memory will not only want revenge for
that result, but also for the 2003 Twenty20 Cup final, in which
Warwickshire were humiliated by the Oval outfit. With Warwickshire batting all
the way down to number eight, Surrey will either have to set the
Bears a testing target or do a job on them with the ball. No team
has chased down more than 326 to win a List A game at Lord's. India
hold that record, which was set in 2002; while the highest
successful chase in a county match is 322, achieved by Warwickshire,
against Sussex, in the 1993 NatWest Trophy final. Prediction - the
head says Warwickshire, just, the heart says Surrey, but I can
easily see it all coming down to who bowls first.

L.Evans, R.Clarke, C.Woakes, J.Patel, C.Wright and O.Hannon-Dalby.
